Kawana Hotel – Fuji Course is now available on the Toptracer platform at golf ranges around the world.
Kawana Hotel – Fuji Course, which is often in top 100 golf courses around the world, builds on the prestige and credibility of Toptracer’s portfolio through its international reputation and iconic status. Often referred to as the ‘Pebble Beach of Japan’, the course is known for exclusivity, heritage and significance within Japanese golf.
“It’s a privilege to offer one of the most heralded and unique layouts in the world to our global community,” says Scott Blevins, President and GM of Toptracer. “Toptracer has been trusted by so many facilities around Asia as its tech provider, so it’s paramount that our gameplay options reflect some of the best destinations in that part of the world as well.”
The Fuji Course was designed by Golden-Age architect C.H. Alison, who’s known for his work around the world including nearby Hirono Golf Club. Opening in 1936, the course makes strong use of natural land rather than feeling manufactured. Its complex undulations create steep holes, small targets, elevation shifts, and a layout where no two holes feel alike.
Furthermore, Japanese players are some of the most engaged and loyal players in the world. They visit their local Toptracer range an average of three times per month resulting in 1.8 million rounds played virtually per year. Since the release of the Fuji Course, it has quickly become the most played destination in the portfolio with 30 percent of daily gameplay.
“The layout is as good as any touching the Pacific Ocean, and that includes many well-known courses along the west coast of the United States,” continues Blevins. “We want to inspire our golfers at Toptracer by offering the best courses from around the world at their local range, and the addition of Kawana Hotel should do exactly that.”
